Key Sustainability Performance IRPC has continuously implemented circular economy projects which are being assessed by the circular economy maturity level of the PTT Group, referring to BS 8001:2017 for self-assessment. To acknowledge the level of circular economy maturity for the second year in a row. In addition, the Company has also undertaken projects throughout the value chain to implement Post-Industrial Recycled and Post-Consumer Recycled through cooperation with KFC for the second consecutive year, expanding to 21 branches to recycle and reuse as much single-use plastic products as possible. Meanwhile, 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) projects were maintained to ensure optimization of resources. Major Initiatives • Joint project with Daiso Bio-based products include Polypropylene Grade W1561RW, or Polypropylene (PP) compound with 30% Thai wood pulp powder, an industrial waste, as substitute for natural wood. The plastic compound is used to manufacture lightweight plant pots that look like wooden ones. The product received certification US FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 certification (Olefin Polymers) and EU Regulation No. 10/2011. • Joint project with Cafe Amazon As for construction material and decorative products, IRPC developed R-MAXX L-Cement made from plastic mixed with cement, which can be easily injection-molded instead of castmolded. Such compound, strong, durable with cement-like textures, can be used for the manufacture of a wide range of decorative items, such as attractive lamp shades and plant pots that blend in well with Cafe Amazon’s Green Concept decor. • Joint project with KFC IRPC has collaborated with Thai World Ware Polyproducts Co., Ltd. to manufacture cutlery products based on Bio-based Polystyrene Grade PK150B20 for use in KFC restaurants, by mixing High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) with 20% starch content. Thus, increases the use of natural products while reducing non-renewable materials. The products received US FDA 21 CFR 177.1640 (Styrene Polymers) and EU Regulation No. 10/2011 certification.
